Seven wonders of the web

It is interesting to listen to a lot of discussions happening in the web about the 7 wonders of the web.I think it all started when guardian UK published it's list of 7 wonders of the web in Dec 27 2001. Google and yahoo were obviosely in the top of the list and others in order are Project Gutenberg,Multimap,Ebay,Amazon and Blogger. Obviosely if you look at these made a profound influence in the internet world.But if you look at now ,do you feel something else is mising or has to come in the list. That is correct!.I don't think there will be any argument on including wikipedia in the list. The wayback machine,google earth ,social networking sites and many more can be in the list.You can see many suggestions floating around the seven wonders of the web ,but there is no uniformity of opinion. It is obvious considering the way web is evolving over the years and its true dianamic nature to make anything history within no time.A wonder today might not be part of history at all tomorrow.
